I really like the cover AND the song listing. I don't think it's right for the people to give half of the album listing, though. It's like saying, "You're half right," without an explaination. Either give out the entire listing, or don't give it out at all!

Oh, good grief. People are altogether too grumpy, if they decide to become upset over George's cover pic coming from the Beatles era. He was only in the band for about 12 years-- hardly a blink in the pop world. /extreme sarcasm

So if these people get to complain, I do, too. What in the world are they thinking, starting off the compilation with "Got My Mind Set On You"? Couldn't they have picked one of George's excellent and classic originals for this place of honor? I'm so upset, I'm going to blow up that fabulous cover to be 3 x lifesize and post it on my wall, and stare at it utter frustration. Or something.

...I'm feeling mellower already....

Very glad they're including "Cheer Down". I suppose "I Don't Want To Do It" is the rarity.

People just need to calm down. I do see the reason in getting upset over this. If it sin't something you're interested in, don't buy it.

As far as the cover photo. Who cares if he's in The Beatles or not when that photo was taking, he's still George Harrison. And the photo, as mentioned before, is a GREAT photo. Its balance is amazing, dark and light but still mysterious. And it's George, whats not to like?

Anyway, still can't wait for the release. Now I just need to find some money!

I'll probably be a coward and let someone else buy the album and report. My experience with George albums is that the packaging is a delight. It looks like it was put together with love and appreciation, and includes lots of interesting extras. So if it turns out to be a beautiful CD (with that lovely cover as a start), I might buy it anyway, even though I have most of the songs! (Yes, I'm missing his non-album ones in CD form, of which "Cheer Down" is a particular favorite.)

Okay, so I've seen the final list and I'm not very impressed. I don't mean to be grumpy but I just think George deserves a better collection. One disc is not enough. And his previous "best of" album was like, what, half Beatles songs? :-/

I won't be buying it , George warranted a career spanning double cd .I will spend my money on a couple more solo albums instead Brainwashed for one , and can someone tell me which album Blow Away is on ?
